Afrobeats superstar Davido (David Adedeji Adeleke) and his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, are the subject of a full feature in Vogue this week, which publishes a wide photo essay and account of the couple’s lavish “white wedding” in Miami earlier this month. The piece — part of Vogue’s Weddings coverage — frames the celebration as a cross-continental showcase that deliberately brought Lagos style and pageantry to Wynwood’s Mana venue.
According to the Vogue report, the Miami ceremony followed an earlier wedding in Lagos and was attended by roughly 1,500 guests. Chioma wore multiple custom looks, including a gown by UK-based Nigerian designer Alonuko, while Davido changed outfits throughout the evening and accessorized with pieces from his personal jewellery collection. The creative direction for the event was led by Davido’s sister, Sharon Ademefun, and the night combined Nigerian traditions with international wedding pageantry.
The ceremony and subsequent celebrations at Mana Wynwood included musical performances and high-energy moments — Vogue highlights a Hora Loca performance and guest appearances by fellow Afrobeats artists — and notes the couple incorporated meaningful tributes to their late son, Ifeanyi, in several touches throughout the night. Photographs published alongside the story emphasize the event’s theatrical styling and curated mix of local and global fashion names.
Nigerian outlets and social posts picked up the Vogue story quickly, noting the significance of a world fashion title that rarely profiles Nigerian weddings running a longform feature on the couple. The coverage has generated broad social media attention at home and abroad, with fans and fashion observers praising the aesthetics while some commentators focused on the cultural and emotional moments highlighted in the piece.
As the story circulates, it reinforces how Afrobeats celebrities are increasingly shaping global fashion and wedding narratives — not only through music and red-carpet appearances but also by staging culturally textured milestone events that travel beyond Nigeria’s borders.
